Ann Wellington 1809 - Week 1

Ann Wellington Sampler 1809
T&N Designs Inc
32 ct. Magnolia linen
DMC


Back to my beloved reproduction samplers!  Oh so happy bout it too!

This is a chart my sister gave to me. She fell out of love with it, so I got to be the lucky recipient.  I can tell you I debated stitching her.  But with the fiasco of  not having the right fabrics for the next 3 samplers I planned to stitch.  Ann quickly moved to the top of the list.

I am honestly enjoying stitching her.  She's progressing quite nicely. Plus the colors are actually pretty too.  Greens and coral pinks. 

At this point I'm about 1/3rd through the chart.  I'll be moving the scroll rods tomorrow, but wanted to share the upper border. 

All 3 pieces of my 27 ct. Unbleached/Raw/natural showed up.  So maybe by the end of the year I'll have worked my way through all the charts in my stash with 1980's copyright dates.  Yea that's right I have charts that are almost 30 years old.  

I finished organizing my scroll rods and wanted to share the finished product.


Best idea I've had in awhile!  Well besides ordering these from the Internet!


Seriously I never can figure out which pull works the light or the fan.  Guess that's because I'm a visual person!

Short post this week!  Happy stitching all!

  4. I can't be the only one! One of my grade school/high school classmates tried to explain to me which pull went to what! I said "there you go trying to be rational and logical again!" Pulls are on the way, will be great not to have to guess!

    1. Christine this is a chart from the late 1980's. Unfortunately someone contacted me and asked to purchase it and I sold it. Best bet will now be eBay, etsy or maybe one of the ISO (in search of pages on FB) or the many sell/buy cross stitch on FB.

    2. Emli's says they have it, but I wouldn't trust her site. It hasn't been updated in years. Trying calling Carol Sessoms at Emlis to see if she has it. She's not good about reading emails either.
